Intro and job interview role-play

Continue to work on job interview practice

+
Try to be more precise when talking in an interview.
Be careful about using the past tense

Im graduated in university in 2012 and then I have worked in a public institution in my hometown and I am applying for a new job in Beijing and that position involves some abilities in oral English but I think it is poor and in university my major is English but because I graduated for about 10 years I seldom used my English so I want to improve my oral English.
I think my biggest problem is when I try to say something I must think about it for a relative long time and I cannot say something immediately and I almost always make some mistakes. In the new position I will be responsible for receiving some foreigners and I have to provide some service for them and try to make them communicate with Chinese people and there is a position in the national audit office.
Maybe they are from Asian countries.
I have a lot of hobbies and I really enjoy dancing and I am a part time dancing teacher for about 5 years.
I also like watching football games.
they will open in next month .
